The new album has once again been recorded at the band’s home of the Surgery Studios in Wellington with Dr. Lee Prebble, with the studio helping bring out the nostalgia-tinged sound to the release. 

Recently the band performed Track 10, ‘Proud man’ live at Massey Studios, Toi Rauwhārangi College of Creative Arts in New Zealand. (Video
